Company Profile
The Problem:
One of the major and most underestimated forms of pollution affecting our lives today is industrial noise. It can impair our health in many ways and consequently affect both performance at work and activities at home. Its effects range from the reduction of efficiency, with an increase in errors and accidents, to the major hazard of induced deafness.
There is an increasing awareness of the effects of noise. Government, Insurance Companies and Unions are bringing increasing pressure on companies to improve working environments.
Environmental noise is one of the prime complaints received by Environmental Health Officers.
The Solution:
There is no standard solution for all noise problems, and although the noise reduction attained is of prime importance, the methods of achieving this vary greatly. In virtually every situation, specialist technical assistance is needed to establish the optimum solution for a particular problem.
We have now been established for over 24 years as Noise Control Engineers. During this time our engineers have accumulated a very broad practical training in solving noise problems.
Our product range includes: acoustic enclosures, acoustic curtains, sound havens, sound reducing doors, acoustic guards, noise absorbers, quiet test rooms and a wide range of noise control materials.
Services offered include: all types of noise measurement and analysis. We can assess environmental noise and factory noise in accordance with the Noise at Work Regulations to meet HSE requirements.
Our Aim:
To analyses your noise problem and propose the most practical and cost effective way of reducing the noise to below your or legal requirements.
We have our own in-house manufacturing facility enabling us to manufacture supply and fit our own products.
Noise Surveys
Noise at work assessments:
It is the legal obligation of an employer to prevent damage to the hearing of workers from excessive noise at work. The Noise at Work Regulations are intended to reduce hearing damage by loud noise. They require employers to take action when noise reaches the 85 dB(A) "First Action Level" and further action if it reaches 90 dB(A) "Second" or 140 dB "Peak" Action Levels.
Acoustic Control Systems can assess the noise in your work place and submit a report detailing individual noise areas and personal noise doses. We will also assess your existing ear protection and offer practical advice and solutions. This will enable you to comply with the Noise at Work Regulations and meet HSE requirements.
Environmental Noise
Where industrial or entertainment noise is causing disturbance to neighbours we can analyse the situation and put forward cost effective ways of reducing the noise.
Planning Applications:
Where planning applications are subject to noise restrictions we can analyse the potential noise that will be produced and equate that to the current ambient noise levels. We can also put forward practical methods of reducing noise where relevant.
Acoustic Treatment
Acoustic Enclosures and Rooms
Acoustic Enclosures offer a cost effective solution to one or a number of noise sources within a working environment. Consideration should be given to maintenance access, product access, services, ventilation and visual requirements all of these factors will affect the performance of the enclosure. Acoustic Control Systems will Design the enclosure in consultation with users and maintenance personnel, supply and fit the enclosure to suit your requirements.
An example of one of our acoustic rooms is shown below the room encapsulated noisy machines within a workshop and isolated personnel working outside, on the shop floor, from the noise of the machines inside.
Acoustic Barriers offer another solution to a noise problem where the noise source must not be enclosed, for example where air circulation or frequent access is required.
Acoustic panels can be supplied custom manufactured to your requirements. The panels are manufactured from sheet steel and can be supplied in a variety of constructions and finishes to suit your application and noise reduction requirements please contact us for further information and prices
Fan Noise
Fan noise can be treated in two ways either by fitting duct silencers or acoustic enclosures around the fans. Sometimes a combination of both is required. We can measure and assess fan noise on site and design equipment to suit your requirements. Below are examples of fan acoustic enclosures and silencers.

Live reverberant (echo), noisy rooms can be made more desirable by the addition of sound absorbing equipment below are two examples:-
